Otherwise, if the party reaches the Shadow-Cursed Lands through [[Grymforge]], they may encounter Kar'niss' caravan mid-transit - either alongside a group of Harpers to ambush them and claim the lantern as part of a quest given by [[Jaheira]] at [[Last Light Inn]], or alone if they explore the Shadow-Cursed Lands and come across the checkpoint without interacting with the Harpers first. The Harper ambush will also be encountered if the party followed the caravan from the start. In each of these scenarios, the party may choose to follow the convoy to Moonrise, kill Kar'niss and his followers to take his lantern, or convince him through dialogue to relinquish it and walk away to his death. | Otherwise, if the party reaches the Shadow-Cursed Lands through [[Grymforge]], they may encounter Kar'niss' caravan mid-transit - either alongside a group of Harpers to ambush them and claim the lantern as part of a quest given by [[Jaheira]] at [[Last Light Inn]], or alone if they explore the Shadow-Cursed Lands and come across the checkpoint without interacting with the Harpers first.
